Description
The Lydiard Tregoze Parish War Memorial is a rough-hewn granite structure located in a small enclosure by the roadside on Hook Street. It features a small wheel-head cross atop a tall, tapering shaft, which rises from a rectangular plinth that tapers upwards. This plinth stands on a two-stepped base made from a different type of stone.
The main dedicatory inscription on the front face of the plinth reads: "TO THE GLORY OF GOD AND IN MEMORY/ OF THE MEN OF LYDIARD TREGOZE/ WHO MADE THE SUPREME SACRIFICE/ IN THE GREAT WAR. 1914 – 1918./ (11 NAMES)/ “THEIR NAME LIVETH FOR EVERMORE.”/ ECCLUS XLIV.14 (APOCRYPHA)." The letters are made of metal and are inset into the stone. Additionally, a small inclined granite tablet affixed to the lower step commemorates the years 1939 – 1945 and includes (2 NAMES).
The memorial is enclosed by a low brick wall with low piers at each corner. Within the enclosure, there are planters and a wooden bench, but these features are not considered to have special architectural or historic interest.
